In our relentless quest to bring you a peerless combination of brilliant quality wines at thoroughly modest prices, our fearless product consultants have come up with four new wines we're convinced are drop-dead winners! Prices will all hover in the vicinity of $25 or less.

• Jaboulet-Vercherre Bourgogne Rouge 2005 2005 may have been a terrific year in the Cote dOr, but this was ridiculous: a basic Burgundy for about $25 that was this good? None of us had ever tasted anything like it: Classic Burgundy nose, and fruit as silky-smooth as a bucketful of kittens. Better yet, it's still improving in the bottle---we tasted this in the morning and finished it off at dinner, where it was even better! This is a bargain that has the potential to keep on delighting you for years!
• 2005 Chateau Haut Vigneau Cotes de Blaye Another excellent modestly-priced Bordeaux from 2005, where a miracle vintage has proven kindest to the budget-minded consumer: if the Latours and Moutons are fetching record prices, the petit chateaux like this one have never made better wine---and they're all fighting for a spot in your cellar, so prices have never looked so affordable. This example 85% Merlot, with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and another 5% Cabernet Franc; it has a wonderful, earthy nose with plenty of tannic bite on the palate---very seductive now, but with the promise of even better to come, if you can only keep your mitts off it long enough!
• "Manior de la Tete Rouge" Bagatelle 100% Cabernet Franc from vigneron Guillaume Reynouard, working in the Saumur AOC: Dark, intense---maybe the most macho Cab Franc you've ever had at this price!
• Pica Broca "La Sauvageonne" Terrasses du Larzac 2005 Another wonderful Syrah-Grenache-Cinsault combination from the Coteaux du Languedoc, this has an earthy nose that suggests some Mourvedre was in the mix as well; but since that's a variety not listed on the label, we'll just have to assume that it comes from expert winemaking and a nice bit of terroir.

Case upon case of all of the above are now here at both Spinnakers Spirit Merchants' locations!
